And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.

Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many:

And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused.

And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto them,

For which of you wants to build a tower and does not first sit down to calculate the expense, to see if he has enough money to complete it? ??29 in case, after he has laid the foundation and then is unable to finish the building, all the spectators start to make fun of him,

Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him,

all that see it, should deride him, saying, this man began to build and was not able to finish.

Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?

If he cannot, when the other is still at a distance he will send an embassy to do homage to him.

Just as no one of you who does not detach himself from all that belongs to him can be a disciple of mine.

It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.

"What man of you having a hundred sheep, if he lose one of them doth not leave ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find him?

And when he hath found him, he putteth him on his shoulders with joy:

And not many days after, the younger son, taking with him all that was his, left home for a distant country, and there wasted his property in riotous living.

And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.

And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.

I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,

And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.

And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.

But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:

And bring hither that fatted calf, and kill him, and let us eat and be merry:

And he sent for one of the servants, questioning him about what it might be.

And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.

And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him.

But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.

And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.

And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods.

And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward.

So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?

And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.

Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and write fourscore.

And the unjust steward's lord commended him because he had done wisely. For the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.

And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.

a certain beggar named Lazarus, was lying at his gate, and tho' cover'd with ulcers, the very dogs came and fawned upon him.

And in time the poor man came to his end, and angels took him to Abraham's breast. And the man of wealth came to his end, and was put in the earth.

And in the unseen place of departed spirits the rich man, who was being tormented, looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus close beside him.

And he called to him and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.

But Abraham said unto him, 'Son remember, that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy pleasure, and contrariwise, Lazarus pain. Now therefore is he comforted, and thou art punished.

Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:

For I have five brothers; and let him give them an account of these things, so that they may not come to this place of pain.

Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.

And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!

It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.

Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.

And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.

But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat?

And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?

Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not.

And he said to him, Get up, and go on your way; your faith has made you well.

And when the Pharisees put questions to him about when the kingdom of God would come, he gave them an answer and said, The kingdom of God will not come through observation:

At length he said to his disciples, the time will come, when ye will wish to see the son of man appear, and shall not see him.

People will say to you, "Look! There he is!' or "Look! Here he is!' But don't go and chase after him.

But first it is necessary [for] him to suffer many [things], and to be rejected by this generation.

On that day, if anyone is on the roof of the house, and his goods are in the house, let him not go down to take them away; and let him who is in the field not go back to his house.

37 And they answering, said to him, Where, Lord? And he said, Wherever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.

And they, answering him, said, Where, Lord? And he said to them, Where the body is, there will the eagles come together.

And there was a widow in that town, and she kept on coming to him and saying, Give me my right against the man who has done me wrong.

And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?

But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.

And a certain ruler put a question to him, saying, Good Master, what have I to do so that I may have eternal life?

And Jesus said to him, Why do you say that I am good? No one is good, but only God.

And he said, All these have I kept from my childhood. Jesus hearing these things said to him, Yet lackest thou one thing:

And Jesus, hearing it, said to him, One thing you still have need of; get money for your goods, and give it away to the poor, and you will have wealth in heaven; and come after me.

And Jesus, looking at him, said, How hard it is for those who have wealth to get into the kingdom of God!

And those hearing him, said, And who can be saved?

Then Peter said to Him, "We have left our very own, homes and all, and have followed you."

And he took with him the twelve and said to them, Now we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things which were said by the prophets will be done to the Son of man.

For he shall be delivered up to the Gentiles, and they shall insult him, and treat him with indignity, and spit upon him:

And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again.

And they said to him, Jesus of Nazareth is going by.

And those who were in front made protests and said to him, Be quiet: but he said all the more, O Son of David, have mercy on me.

And Jesus, stopping, gave orders that he was to come to him, and when he came near, he said to him,

He asked him, saying, What wouldst thou that I should do for thee? And he said, Lord, that I may recover my sight.

And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee.

And straight away he was able to see, and he went after him, giving glory to God; and all the people when they saw it gave praise to God.

And he went quickly in front of them and got up into a tree to see him, for he was going that way.

And when Jesus came to the place, looking up, he said to him, Zacchaeus, be quick and come down, for I am coming to your house today.

And he came down quickly, and took him into his house with joy.

And Zacchaeus, waiting before him, said to the Lord, See, Lord, half of my goods I give to the poor, and if I have taken anything from anyone wrongly, I give him back four times as much.

And Jesus said to him, Today salvation has come to this house, for even he is a son of Abraham.

He said therefore, "A certain noble man went into a far country, to receive him a kingdom, and then to come again.

And the first came before him, saying, Lord, your pound has made ten pounds.

And he said to him, You have done well, O good servant: because you have done well in a small thing you will have authority over ten towns.

And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.

"And the next came to him and said, 'Here master is your pound which I was keeping safe in a napkin.

He said to him, By the words of your mouth you will be judged, you bad servant. You had knowledge that I am a hard man, taking up what I have not put down and getting in grain where I have not put seed;

And he said to the others who were near, Take the pound away from him, and give it to the man who has ten.

And they say to him, Lord, he has ten pounds.

And I say to you that to everyone who has, more will be given, but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away.

Saying, Go into the little town in front of you, and on going in you will see a young ass fixed with a cord, on which no man has ever been seated; let him loose and take him.
